Accommodation is the 'source of all diseases', is it toxic or carcinogenic? How to get rid of 'relying on' poop?

"Clearing the stool, detoxification", we have heard a lot in health care advertisements, and many products claim to have the effect of detoxification.

There is even an article claiming that Su is " the most terrifying killer "... Ms. Zhao accidentally came across this article when she was surfing the Internet.

The content of the article said, "regardless of fat or thin, everyone has feces in their bodies. A normal person has about 3-6g of feces. The heavier the weight, the more feces . Just imagine that a 45kg woman has 6kg of feces in her body. If you think about it, will you be discouraged?"

And Ms. Zhao's weight is just 45kg, so she is also concerned about this content.

Just at this time, my best friend called Ms. Zhao to do beauty together, and there happened to be a detox program in the store - " intestinal spa ".

The product introduction said that it can detoxify and beautify the face. Ms. Zhao was moved and chose this project, but her best friend refused to listen to her. During the enema, Ms. Zhao suddenly felt severe pain in her lower abdomen and lower back and was rushed to the hospital. He was eventually diagnosed with intestinal perforation and had to undergo surgery .

Coincidentally, Ms. Yang, who is in her 70s in Beijing, also caused severe abdominal pain due to enema maintenance. She was finally diagnosed with rectal injury and required surgery.

In fact, the so-called "intestinal hydrotherapy" is an enema, and an enema is a medical item, which does not have the effect of intestinal health care , and has certain medical risks. In severe cases, it will cause perforation and so on.

Is there really a so-called "6kg stool" in the human body? Does stool stay in the intestines not only toxic but also carcinogenic? Today, Xiao Jiu will explain it to everyone.

1. "Clear the stool and detoxify the intestines", what is the stool?

In fact, there is no such word as constipation in the medical concept, because I have searched domestic and foreign medical textbooks and professional books, but have not found a definition for it. So what exactly is feces in the eyes of the public?

Simply put, it is the feces that stay in the intestinal cavity for more than 1 day without being discharged. The normal physiological activity is that after the food enters the body and is digested and absorbed, the residues generally stay in the colon for 1 to 3 days before being excreted .

Does the normal human body really produce 6 kg of stool?

First of all, regardless of how much we can eat, it is impossible to produce so much feces even if what we eat is not absorbed. In addition, if there is really 6kg of feces piled up in the intestines, it will press on the intestinal wall, and the urge to defecate will occur soon, and it is impossible to accumulate so much feces .

Therefore, for some rumors circulating on the Internet, everyone must learn to distinguish and treat them rationally.

2. Is accommodation the "source of all diseases"? Not only toxic but also carcinogenic?

It is even more nonsense to say that stool stays in the intestines, which is not only toxic but also carcinogenic. Why do you say that?

In fact, from the point of view of the process of food digestion, after the food enters the body, it will enter the intestine after being chewed and initially digested in the mouth. Especially in the colon, the water in the food scraps is absorbed, and the scraps start to aggregate into stool .

This process usually takes 24 hours. If it is a constipated patient, it may take longer, but it will not absorb toxins at all, and naturally there is no cancer .

Wang Zemin, chief physician of the Department of Internal Medicine, Wangjing Hospital, Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, reminded: Blind use of health products to clear the stools will lead to the risk of cancer, because some of the health care products for "clearing stools" currently on the market are mainly laxatives, which will last for a long time. Blind use can easily lead to gastrointestinal disorders, large intestine melanosis, and even intestinal cancer.

Therefore, Xiaojiu reminds everyone not to be easily influenced by some health care promotions, and doing some " cleaning the stool " behaviors at will, may often hurt the body.

3. When cancer comes, the stool may "remind" you!

Abnormal stool is indeed an early warning of cancer. If the following conditions occur in the stool, be alert to the advent of cancer.

1. Hematochezia

Many people have blood in the stool, and they mistake it for hemorrhoids. In fact, this is also a typical manifestation of bowel cancer. When the stool passes through the bowel with cancer, it will rub the surface and cause bleeding. It should be distinguished from hemorrhoids.

2. A foul odor

The foul smell of the stool may indicate chronic enteritis, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer and other diseases. Preliminary judgment can be made based on parameters such as stool color or character.

3. Changes in stool characteristics

For example, the original stool was formed, but now it has become mucus stool, dark red bloody stool or become thin strips. We should also be alert to diseases such as colon cancer, which are mainly caused by tumor pressing on the intestine.

4. Frequent diarrhea

The tumor squeezes the intestinal tract and narrows the intestinal tract. In order to expel feces, the large intestine can only peristaltic harder. Once the intestinal movement is active, diarrhea is prone to occur. , recurring.

When the above symptoms of abnormal stool appear, you should be alert to the occurrence of the disease, and it is recommended to seek medical treatment for cancer in time.

4. Is it difficult to defecate? Might as well eat 3 kinds of "natural discharge agent"

Difficulty defecation is uncomfortable, and it is often related to the lack of dietary fiber, so more dietary fiber can be supplemented daily to help with defecation. Food is a major way to supplement dietary fiber, especially the following foods, which are called "natural discharge agents".

1. Apple

Apples are rich in cellulose, which can promote intestinal metabolism, speed up intestinal peristalsis, and improve constipation.

2. Dragon fruit

It is rich in dietary fiber, red heart dragon fruit reaches 2.2g/100g, and white heart reaches 2.8g/100g, which can help increase gastrointestinal motility, thereby relieving and preventing constipation.

3. Celery

Celery is also rich in dietary fiber, which can promote bowel movements and have a good laxative effect.

In addition to eating more dietary fiber, if you want to have a healthy gut and smooth bowel movements, you must also adhere to the habit of regular bowel movements, a reasonable diet, ensure adequate water intake, regular life and rest, and maintain a good attitude. Reasonable arrangement of exercise , etc.

Summary: Stool is not a medical concept. Many rumors are propagating false theories through the ride of health care, so everyone must learn to distinguish. If you encounter problems with defecation, you can seek medical examination in time, and then target intervention, so as to solve the problem faster and better.
